HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS



Honey-Glazed Chicken and Shallots image

The combination of a sweet glaze, tangy shallots and pan-roasted chicken makes this a quick but decadent one-pan meal. Caramelizing shallots first, then tossing them with sherry vinegar gives them a pickled but syrupy bite. A little heat from a spicy chile and some freshness from parsley leaves balance this flavorful dish. Serve right off the stove, over cooked grains or alongside a crisp salad.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks (6 to 8 pieces)
Salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1 pound shallots (about 8), peeled and halved, quartered if large
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 fresh hot chile, such as Thai, Scotch bonnet or serrano, minced with or without seeds
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
  • Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds (about 36) small shallots, peeled
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup homemade or low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
A few grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • In a skillet just large enough to hold the shallots in a single layer, combine the shallots, wine, stock, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid evaporates and the shallots are very tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Raise heat to medium high and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the shallots begin to brown and are coated with a thick syrup. Remove from heat and add the final tablespoon of butter, shaking the pan until it is melted and incorporated. Serve immediately.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound small shallots (about 12), peeled, leaving stem ends intact, halved lengthwise if large
1 teaspoon grated orange zest and 1/2 cup juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 3/4 cups water, orange zest and juice, vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, shallots are tender enough to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife, and liquid is syrupy, 35 to 40 minutes. (Raise heat to high for a few minutes if shallots are tender but not quite glazed.) Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right shallots: Look for shallots that are firm and have no signs of sprouting or bruising. Smaller shallots are typically more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the shallots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shallots will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Cook the shallots over medium-low heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the shallots frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add the glaze ingredients at the end of cooking: This will help the glaze adhere to the shallots and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the shallots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Glazed shallots with chile and thyme are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. They are perfect for adding a sweet and savory flavor to roasted meats, grilled fish, or even simple pasta dishes. The shallots can also be used as a topping for salads or crostini. With their beautiful appearance and delicious flavor, glazed shallots are sure to impress your guests.
